Verification to official standards
- Your photo is analysed in real time using our artificial intelligence system.
- It is then reviewed by a human expert.
- We apply the official requirements set by the U.S. Department of State, USCIS and other relevant U.S. authorities.
100% accepted or your money back
- We guarantee a compliant photo — or your money back.
- If your photo is refused, you can receive a full refund or retake it free of charge, with proof of official refusal. 99.8% of our photos are accepted on the first submission. However, the final decision remains with the individual official reviewing your application, who may deem a photo compliant or non-compliant.
- No subscription plans — you only pay when you use the service.
- Digital photos with our full verification service start from $8.50. The exact price may vary depending on the document and service selected.
